16 January 2022 Miscellaneous expenditure may be shown in the balance sheet (Schedule III part-1) under the head 'other non current assets'. Amount w/off yearly may be shown under 'other expenses' in 'statement of profit or loss'(Schedule III part-II). Alternatively, fully w/off such expenses in the year of occurrence as per AS-26.
